- Secure the clothes in your best neutrals (black, brown, beige, white, greys, etc.) first beforebuying them in bright summer colors that may be harder to match the next season. To save money, focus on adding color and trendy details as accents to the neutrals.
- On the flip side, don't be afraid to buy clothes in bright and a tad difficult to mix and match color. As long as you know that the colors that can be recycled next summer. A colorful floral dress has all the bells and whistles for summer, and can also be worn next season.

Styling tip: Wear these as accents to a neutral outfit, select a bright color to create your outfit's focal point, or simply wear them monochromatically (eg. white shirt, nude shorts, brown sandals, cream pearl jewelry)! :-)A lot of the Spring and Summer fashion trends colors are mostly suited for warm skin tones. However if you're cool-toned (Winter, Summer) a little bit of tan or bronzed face will help your sunkissed coloring adjust to the warm color. They won't look fantastic you like on Autumns andSprings, but they look better with a bit of tan than no tan at all. You can also stick to the colors from your personal color palette, and rather add the warm Spring/Summer colors as accents, like for example a bag, belt or shoes. Or you can also wear your best cool neutrals to "cool down" a warm color.
